Mets_bs Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 http://www.gothambaseball.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1513 The Mets' pursuit of Billy Wagner may have paid off, as several sources are saying a deal could be announced as soon as tomorrow. Mets GM Omar Minaya has apparently offered a four-year, $40 million contract to Wagner, a deal that the Phillies are not expected to match.

Admin Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Good acquisition for the Mutts if/when it happens. Can't go wrong with Wagner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flamarlins3 Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Idiotic to give any closer a 40 million dollar contract But then again Mets do need one pretty bad...I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iowa Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Amazing.. 10 mil for a closer. Wagner is a stud tho and money isn't worry for the Mets... so a good move for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PBMarlin Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Just what we expected from the Mets this off-season......plenty of $$$ to throw around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mephisto Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 The mets are so stupid with so many closers out there I dont see the need to offer him 10 mil for 4 yrs so soon, because you know he's goingt to wait and see if he maybe get that to the 45-50 mil or get another yr in there. Â I dont know how you could pay someone who might not play for a week 10 million..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mets_bs Posted November 22, 2005 Author Share Posted November 22, 2005 An interesting move by the Mets, they have a press conference scheduled today for Billy Wagner -- and he reportedly hasn't signed yet. I've never heard of that before, a press conference to welcome a player to the city? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuickGold Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Mets had to sign Wagner as there's no one else out there. Now they need to sign more middle relievers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accord Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 I just heard on ESPNEWS that it was 3/30, not 4/40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
